For a half- life, the formula is
A(t) = A0(0.5)^( t / t_0.5)
where A(t) is the amount of substance at time t
A0 is the initial amount of subtance
t_0.5 is the time it will reduce its amount to half
t is the time

substitute the given to the formula
A(t) = 100(0.5)^( t/6 )
so the decay factor is 0.5^( t/6 )

During his hike, Milt drank 1 liter of water and 1 liter of sports drink. How many milliliters of liquid did he drink?
S_A_V [24]

Answer: 2,000 milliliters.  

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, to answer this question we have to add the amount of water and the amount of sports drink that he drank:

1 liter + 1 liter = 2 liters of liquid.

Finally, we have to convert the result into milliliters.

Since 1 liter = 1000 liters

We have to multiply the liters drank by 1000.

2 x 1000 = 2,000 milliliters.  

Feel free to ask for more if needed or if you did not understand something.

Trina brings 6 cubic yards of compost for planting the trees. Each tree needs to be planted with 1/6 cubic yards of compost
kumpel [21]
If the question is asking how many trees can be planted with 6 cubic yards of compost, here is the solution.

6 divided by 1/6 means to take 6 wholes and break them into groups the size of 1/6.

One whole can be broken into 6 groups of 1/6 (6/6), so 6 wholes can be broken into 36 groups of 1/6 (6 x 6 = 36/6).

Mathematically, you will multiply 6 by 6/1  to get the 36.

You can plant 36 trees with 6 cubic yards of compost.
